"So Momma, do you need any help with lunch?" Will asked after he and JJ walked back into the living room. Will's thinking was the faster lunch was ready the faster they could leave.

"If you need anything done, I'll be happy to help out," JJ added. She was going to pretend the situation was real and she really did want to impress Will's mother. She hadn't been introduced to a boyfriend's family since college so she was a little rusty on how things usually worked.

"That would be wonderful," Catherine said happy she had been offered help.

"Uncle Will can you come outside and play with me and Daddy?" Sarah, Will's niece, asked coming up to her uncle.

"Sorry Bear," Will said. Bear was Will's nickname for his niece. "But I'm going to help Grandma out with lunch."

"Okay," Sarah said glumly.

"Well how about you go out with them and Jennifer and I can work on lunch," Catherine suggested. Will didn't think that was a good idea. He could only see it ending badly if he left JJ alone with his mother and his sister in law.

Will looked over to JJ, but she didn't seem panicked or anything like that. "Yeah, okay. Just don't scare her off," Will instructed his mother, before quickly squeezing JJ's hand before letting it go. "Come here," Will said as he picked up his niece and she screamed in excitement in her uncle's grasp.

"So what can I do?" JJ asked after watching Will walk away.

…

"He so great with kids," Tessa, Luke's wife, said as she watched out the window. JJ didn't know if she was talking about Will or Luke.

"Always has been," Catherine added, still not clueing JJ in.

"Sarah loves him, always asking when she can see him next. You should have seen her light up when we told her about today," Tessa replied, and JJ was about 99% certain they were talking about Will. She looked out the window at what the two other women were watching. She saw him chasing around the little girl, while Luke sat on the ground with his son.

"It's a shame he hasn't gotten any of his own," Catherine said, but JJ only zoned in halfway through the comment.

"No doubt."

"So, Jennifer, is that something you two have talked about?" Catherine asked and JJ had to hold back her startled look.

"Oh, we're a long way off of that," JJ laughed pretending this didn't make the situation even more awkward than it already was.

"A year? Two years?" Catherine asked.

"Oh don't pressure her. They probably aren't that serious yet," Tessa said cutting Catherine off. She was taking Will's 'don't scare her off' into account.

"Thanks," JJ smiled.

"Well it's not like my son will ever tell me. He's so private. Do you know I had to force him into bringing Jennifer today," Catherine said.

"Maybe that's why he's private," Tessa joked with JJ and JJ laughed genuinely.

"I would never have gotten to meet her if I didn't. And dear, it's an absolute joy meeting you," Catherine said placing an open hand on JJ's shoulder. Will's family was so open and welcoming, JJ couldn't understand why he never brought his previous girlfriends home to meet them. The phone started ringing from the other room and Catherine excused herself to go answer it.

"You're really lucky," Tessa said, and JJ looked up confused, not understanding how this situation was anything but unfortunate.

"How's that?" JJ asked.

"Will's such a good guy. If I had met him before Luke," She joked. "No, but really, I've always been surprised no one else has snatched him up before now."

"Lucky for me, I guess," JJ smiled. "Do you know why that is? He doesn't really talk about it," she asked slightly curious.

"From what I've heard from Luke, he just wasn't ready to settle down, or was waiting for the one and no one has been right. But obviously that changed now. And although I don't know you all that well, you seem like you're perfect for him," Tessa said. JJ hid back her amusement over Tessa's choice of words. There was no way they were 'perfect' for each other. That was laughable.

"Well thank you, and I hope you're right," JJ said. She was actually starting to somewhat enjoy the situation. It was nice seeing how a normal family functioned, it had been so long she'd almost forgotten.

"Oh I'm right," Tessa said.

Catherine walked passed the kitchen and right outside, within a minute Will was walking in after her, but they again passed the kitchen.

"What's happening?" JJ asked Tessa.

"Amy must be here."
